Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It's charly brdy praise party. I am Sherry Mackie, and
- 0:03Speaker 1: it's time right now for today's word. A work worth applauding,
- 0:10Speaker 1: A work worth applauding. Philippians one in six of the
- 0:15Speaker 1: message translation says, there has never been the slightest doubt
- 0:20Speaker 1: in my mind that the God who started this great
- 0:23Speaker 1: work in you would keep it and bring it to
- 0:27Speaker 1: a flourishing finish. Are the very day Christ Jesus appears.
- 0:31Speaker 1: You know, too many people go through life feeling wrong
- 0:34Speaker 1: on the inside. They wake up each morning and immediately
- 0:38Speaker 1: began taking inventory of their flaws, take an inventory of
- 0:42Speaker 1: their mistakes and their weaknesses. They play or replay what
- 0:47Speaker 1: didn't go right, where they fell short, and how they
- 0:50Speaker 1: don't quite measure up. There's nothing the enemy would love
- 0:55Speaker 1: more than for you to live this way, focused on
- 0:58Speaker 1: your failures, constantly disappointed in yourself, quietly working against your
- 1:02Speaker 1: own confidence, and calling that inner critic will whisper condemning
- 1:08Speaker 1: thoughts throughout the day. You blew your diet again, you
- 1:11Speaker 1: were late to work, you lost your temper again, you
- 1:15Speaker 1: gave in to that temptation. If you're not careful, those
- 1:20Speaker 1: thoughts can come and become a soundtrack that shapes how
- 1:25Speaker 1: you see yourself. But here's the truth. You've got to
- 1:28Speaker 1: hold on to this truth. You are not a finished product.
- 1:34Speaker 1: God is still working on you. Yes, I know you
- 1:37Speaker 1: may have some things wrong with you. We all do,
- 1:41Speaker 1: but you have far more right with you than you
- 1:45Speaker 1: do wrong in what you realize. God plays gifts, he
- 1:49Speaker 1: plays strengths, He plays creativity and purpose inside of you,
- 1:53Speaker 1: long before you ever made a mistake. Your weaknesses don't
- 1:57Speaker 1: define you. God's work in you does. Learn to celebrate
- 2:02Speaker 1: who you're becoming instead of beating yourself up for who
- 2:05Speaker 1: you're not. Yet. God is changing you from glory to glory,
- 2:09Speaker 1: step by step, season by season. Growth doesn't happen overnight,
- 2:13Speaker 1: and transformation doesn't require perfection. You don't have to be
- 2:18Speaker 1: a finished product before you enjoy your life. You don't
- 2:21Speaker 1: have to arrive before you feel good about yourself. God
- 2:26Speaker 1: delights in you right now, in the middle of the process.
- 2:31Speaker 1: The more you thank God for what He's already done,
- 2:34Speaker 1: the more He releases new strength, fresh faith, and greater
- 2:38Speaker 1: confidence into your life. Gratitude shifts your focus from what's
- 2:43Speaker 1: missing to what's already working. So keep honoring God, keep
- 2:47Speaker 1: showing up, keep doing your best with what you have today.
- 2:52Speaker 1: If you stay in faith, God will take you where
- 2:55Speaker 1: you're supposed to be, and he'll do it right on time. Father,
- 2:59Speaker 1: Thank you for the good work you're doing in our lives.
- 3:02Speaker 1: We're fully convinced that you will continue developing us and
- 3:05Speaker 1: bringing your work into full completion. Thank you that we
- 3:08Speaker 1: are free from condemnation and negative voices. God. We choose
- 3:11Speaker 1: to believe what you say about us, and we will
- 3:14Speaker 1: not be moved from faith in Jesus' name. Hey, now
- 3:18Speaker 1: that's your word for today. Take it applied to your
- 3:21Speaker 1: everyday life, and you continue to be encouraged and inspired.
- 3:24Speaker 1: It is your early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie.
